Imagine, blackberries in October still. A Canadian soldier enjoying the blackberries he had just gathered in Bourlon Wood, October 1918. This was probably such a welcomed treat - fresh fruit off the bush. đź“·Library & Archives Canada. DND Collection 1964-114 PA-003419

You, or someone you know will experience mental illness. The signs aren't always visible. Help remove the stigma and be open with yourself and others when it comes to discussing mental health. https://t.co/QTKmLpGNnd

Great to see our much loved mascot @CplCruachan_IV supporting the Scottish Veteran community.
Lovely to meet @CplCruachan_IV at the Scottis Veterans awards tonight. He's being very well behaved so far...

More photos from our visit to @TMM_yyc. Make sure you visit next time you are in Calgary. Each museum typically covers from the FWW to Afghanistan, and everything in between. Lots of amazing artifacts and well done displays!

Dedicated in 2011, the Calgary Soldiers Memorial is a respectful tribute to the 3,000+ Calgarians, 🇨🇦 armed forces members who died during armed conflicts. Each name is individually inscribed on marble tablets; the 1st stone quotes from, "In Flanders Fields," by John McCrae. #yyc
